"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

As I prepare for the sleep deprived pillaging of the entire length of this green and pleasant land, I feel like I could do with The Bong Injection.

Alas and alack, I have no syringes.

My history department just posted this gem on Facebook. It's a newsreel from the 50s of a mother throwing knives around her kids.

Can't people have a little FAMILY FUN in the back yard? And if each one of those people watching paid a nickel, a NINETEEN FIFTIES NICKEL, there's the rent right there! You want people to be on WELFARE or something? 

Those little girls seem HAPPY. We TOUGHEN OUR KIDS UP. We had a proud tradition here of teaching kids to swim by throwing them in the river until some pencil necked yankees decided we had ALL THE WRONG VALUES. But just you wait till we SECEDE.

Knifethrowing, if the thrower practiced extensively (as it seems to be in this example), is quite safe.
Silly, but safe.
Besides, as you can see one of the knifes didn't stick in the wood and fell on the child. The child didn't even blink so the knifes are quite dull (and the wood must be quite soft, but that is a technicality).
Sure, if everybody just started doing it it would lead to some collateral damage, but that is statistics, not a symptom of inherently bad parenting.
